Updated
Hamilton was an 1846 graduate of the military academy at West Point, N.Y. and personally knew of many famous military personalities who later served during the Civil War ( He did not serve during the Civil War. But he followed the news on it closely and could reasonably predict the moves and success of many of the Generals of that war. ) He saw military action during the Mexican War War from 1846-1848 & rose to the rank of Captain which he was noted for the rest of his life ( one military colleague, Jefferson Davis, he had bad feelings about. According to family tradition, he contemplated challenging him to a duel ). He resigned from his commission in the 1850s and was a lawyer and a farmer for the rest of his life.
He was a little above medium height and sported mutton chop type whiskers during most of his adult life.
He was also an avid horseman. Amongst a small handful of likenesses of him that survive, perhaps the most prominent was a painting by Thomas Van Zandt showing him sleigh riding.
He wed on Feb.20,1851 in Troy, N.Y. to Caroline Hart and had 8 children. Via his father in law, he was introduced to a property called Furnace Grove located two miles east of Bennington, Vt. and in 1858 when he checked it out and found it was for sale, he bought the property and for many years it was a summer home for his family.
